Food is #1
My father-in-law Freddy is a smart man. He immigrated to the the US from Italy when he was 10 years old. When I first sat down at his dinner table, he gave me a valuable lesson about food.
He said, "Tom, Americans are very interesting they drive around in nice cars filled with premium gas, wear nice clothes, and then go to McDonald's for dinner. I smiled and nodded in agreement. He said, of all the things you do everyday, food is number one, food is the most important. He's right. The family eats fresh ingredients, cooked lovingly, rarely eats takeout except for the occasional pizza.
Growing up the children rarely went to McDonald's or other fast food restaurants, compared to the food they ate for dinner every night, the fast food looked like dog food. If you are going to spend your money, invest in good, healthy food. The benefits far outweigh the costs.
Many experts think that our health issues from chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, and other can be traced to the food we eat. Other serious conditions such as heart disease and cancer are certainly linked to our nutrition.
We all have times where we lapse and don't eat in a healthy manner, but let that be the exception. Commit to eating better and living better. While you improve your nutrition, pay attention to your mood change, energy level, and overall sense of well being. Simple changes like eliminating soda or high fructose corn syrup, or eating one or more servings of fruits and vegetables can make a dramatic improvement. First, target a change that is easiest for you to do and then build from there. For some it's chips, or ice cream, or candy, chocolate, or soda
As you improve your nutrition, watch the need for medications fall by the wayside.
Your food will become your medicine.
We have many things to spend our time and money on let
FOOD BE NUMBER ONE.
